CLIA Waived Drug Test

CLIA Waived Tests (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) are those testing systems that adhere to FDA and CLIA standards of risk, error, and accuracy. In 1988, this regulation that governs the standards of testing equipment inside and outside of laboratory settings was formed to create a protocol for human specimen testing. Waived tests include test systems cleared by the FDA for home use and those tests approved for waiver under the CLIA criteria.
